the number of points and the average difference between two points: they are indices of quality of the track

You will also find information on the calculation method used to build the elevation profile.To know more...

The points of interest table gives you the distances, altitudes and ascent for intermediate points ; these points are defined by the author.

If the trace has been evaluated by ITRA, three indices are also available :

Endurance criteria, on a 1 to 6 points scale. It is based on the number of effort points obtained mostly with distance and vertical gain (with the formula: distance (km) + vertical gain (m) / 100).

The Mountain level : it distinguishes the "Mountain" difficulty of a race on a 1 to 12 scale. We base our evaluation on impartial values as the percentage of slope, the longest continual ascent and the average altitude of the course.

The Finisher criteria : it is calculated according to the limited time authorised by the organizer and concerns more particularly the slowest runners. It gives the Performance Index required to be able to finish the race within the time limit. By comparing the Finisher criteria to their own Performance Index, each runner will be able to judge their ability to finish the race within the time limit.

Available tools

On the map of your track you have direct access to several tools :

Use the Shift key on your keyboard to draw the extent of your zoom and the Alt + Shift keys to rotate your map !

Customize the page of your track

Your trace is displayed with a default basemap according to your status (guest, member, subscriber) and the location of your track. By displaying the layers switcher, you can choose another base map; some base maps are only available to members with a Trace de Trail subscription.

It's also in this layer switcher that you can customize the appearance of your track: spacing of the kilometric bubbles, line width, style (dashed) or color.

For color, you can choose a solid color, but also a gradient according to the distance, the altitude or the slope.

Any user can customize the style of a track, but only the owner can save it as the default style using the button Save the style of my track :

The color change of a trace also changes the color of the profile :

Compare tracks

You can add multiple tracks to the page to compare them. You can choose them from the last tracks created by the author or from nearby tracks :

You can also use the button Add a track at the top of the layer swicther. You can then choose from the nearby tracks, from your tracks, your favorite tracks or your last tracks. Finally, you can enter a trace number directly.

All selected tracks will appear in the layer switcher and you can customize the appearance of each.

The owner of the track can use the button Save added tracks in the panel More tools so that the selected tracks are displayed automatically each time the page is loaded.

If you have created variants for your track, they will also be displayed in the layer switcher.
